Colossians 1: 17 In him all things
hold together.

Every aspect of God’s being transcends our knowledge, our experience, and our comprehension.* |

When my high-school chemistry teacher told us that
everything was made up of molecules and atoms and that they were constantly
bouncing around, I lost my ability to trust anything else he said. I remember
sitting there staring at his desk, looking for any sign of movement. If he had
explained that, although those tiny particles were bouncing about, God’s power
kept them together, he could have earned some credibility. If he had gone on to
say that if God removed his power, the universe would explode, I might have
come out of his class with better than a D minus average!
That power that’s holding all of creation together,
keeping the planets from crashing into each other, and maintaining gravity on
earth – that is the power that keeps my life together. If God withheld his
presence, my life would fall apart. Implode. Run amok. Jesus is that power –
contained and controlled and at my disposal.

This world doesn’t always make sense, especially if we believe God is in control. The good news is we don’t have to act like we have it all figured out.* |
